Break. Make. Create: Music
HelloComputer are hosting a music-themed hackathon in Cape Town from 5-6 June. Creative, technical-minded and innovative thinkers are invited to compete for R10,000.
The judges include Rob Ford, funder and principal of The FWA Network and Ryan McManus, executive creative director of Native.
"If coffee-fuelled, all-out creative, anything goes, musical madness and mayhem is something that interests you, then you're exactly what we're looking for to make this the first in a long line of hack events across the country," said group executive creative director, Mark Tomlinson.
"As with previous hackathons, this will take shape with two straight days of building, breaking, modelling, sketching and creating the ultimate hack with music as its backbone."
Combining tech with creativity

"The hackathon was launched to celebrate a 'do anything' attitude, one that would see the teams combining simple technology and inspired creativity to produce ground-breaking results," said Simon Spreckley, executive creative director.
"With this hackathon, we're taking the concept to the broader industry and the public, and we can't wait to see what creative forces that unleashes."
For those wanting to participate who are not in Cape Town, there will be a satellite hack, complete with video Skype-in for judging in Johannesburg at 47 Juta Street Braamfontein.
